Alcohols and Polyols

DECYL ALCOHOL attacks plastics. REF [Handling Chemicals Safely, 1980. p. 236]. Acetyl bromide reacts violently with alcohols or water, [Merck 11th ed., 1989]. Mixtures of alcohols with concentrated sulfuric acid and strong hydrogen peroxide can cause explosions. Example: An explosion will occur if dimethylbenzylcarbinol is added to 90% hydrogen peroxide then acidified with concentrated sulfuric acid. Mixtures of ethyl alcohol with concentrated hydrogen peroxide form powerful explosives. Mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and 1-phenyl-2-methyl propyl alcohol tend to explode if acidified with 70% sulfuric acid, [Chem. Eng. News 45(43):73(1967); J, Org. Chem. 28:1893(1963)]. Alkyl hypochlorites are violently explosive. They are readily obtained by reacting hypochlorous acid and alcohols either in aqueous solution or mixed aqueous-carbon tetrachloride solutions. Chlorine plus alcohols would similarly yield alkyl hypochlorites. They decompose in the cold and explode on exposure to sunlight or heat. Tertiary hypochlorites are less unstable than secondary or primary hypochlorites, [NFPA 491 M, 1991]. Base-catalysed reactions of isocyanates with alcohols should be carried out in inert solvents. Such reactions in the absence of solvents often occur with explosive violence, [Wischmeyer(1969)].

SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses by industrial workers is inconsistent. The benefits or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

This action promulgates standards of performance for equipment leaks of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI). The intended effect of these standards is to require all newly constructed, modified, and reconstructed SOCMI process units to use the best demonstrated system of continuous emission reduction for equipment leaks of VOC, considering costs, non air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements. Decanol is produced, as an intermediate or a final product, by process units covered under this subpart.

Materials would not under normal conditions form hazardous atmospheres with air, but under high ambient temperatures or under moderate heating could release vapor in sufficient quantities to produce hazardous atmospheres with air.| 0 - Materials that in themselves are normally stable, even under fire conditions.

1-Decanol has been identified in aqueous effluents from chemical plants and oil processing facilities(1). Emissions of 1-decanol, in percent of total carbon emission, were identified in roadway emissions (0.01), bus parking garage, hot soak (0.58), bus parking garage, cold start (0.23), petroleum refinery emissions (0.01), lead smelter (0.11), and cast iron factory emissions (0.18) in Cairo, Egypt(2). 1-Decanol emission rate from paved road dust from Pasadena, CA, residential streets in 1988 was 10 ug/g(3). 1-Decanol was qualitatively detected in a sample collected from a sedimentation tank in a water treatment facility in Zurich, Switzerland(4).

moderately toxic

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: 1-Decanol is a colorless to water-white liquid with a sweet floral or fruity odor. It is used as a chemical intermediate in the production of esters and fragrances and as an artificial flavor in foods. It also finds use in synthetic detergents, lube additives, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, rubber, and textiles. It is registered for pesticide use in the U.S. but approved pesticide uses may change periodically and so federal, state and local authorities must be consulted for currently approved uses. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: A maximization test was carried out on 25 volunteers using a 3% concentration in petrolatum. No subject became sensitized. ANIMAL STUDIES: There was little evidence of developmental toxicity when 1-decanol was administered, by inhalation, for 7 hours per day (6 hours/day for 1-decanol) on gestation days 1-19 to approximately 15 pregnant rats. 1-Dodecanol was not mutagenic in the Ames test with or without metabolic activation. However, it was rather cytotoxic, and the maximum concentration that could be tested was 50 ug/plate. In another study it was reported to diminish cell mitotic activity and cause structural changes to chromosomes and the mitotic apparatus in Vicia faba after 14 hours exposure. Mice receiving i.p. injections of 1-dodecanol for eight weeks at total doses of up to 12.0 gm/kg showed no statistically significant increase in lung tumor rate relative to controls. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: The hatching of mosquito eggs was inhibited at a dosage of 5 to 7 liters/hectare by 1-decanol. First, third and fourth instar larvae were killed at a dosage of 3 to 7 liters/hectare. First instar larvae were more sensitive to the alcohols than the older larvae.

... The uptake of cholic acid was unaffected by abdominal irradiation, but for glucose, galactose, and four fatty acids the direction and magnitude of the changes in uptake were influenced by the dose of irradiation and by the interval following exposure. The greater uptake of decanol at 6 weeks but lower uptake of decanol at 33 weeks reflected changes in the resistance of the intestinal unstirred water layer.|N-decyl alc induced nutritional encephalomalacia in 1-day-old chicks could be completely prevented by dietary supplementation of dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate.

1-Decanol has been reported in essential oils of ambrette seeds and almond flowers; in citrus oils, bilberry, American cranberry, papaya, raspberry, coriander seeds and cardamom(1).|1-Decanol was qualitatively detected as a volatile flavor component in the juice of Kogyoku apples(1). It has also been detected in the essential oil of oranges(2). 1-Decanol emission rates from green leaf composite samples and dead leaves were 11 ug/g and 7 ug/g, respectively(3).

1-Decanol's production and use in the perfume industry, as a raw material for detergents, in synthetic lubricants and plasticizers, and as an anti-foam agent(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a reported log Koc value of 2.59(2), indicates that 1-decanol is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 1-decanol from moist soil surfaces is expected(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 4.78X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(3). 1-Decanol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 8.51X10-3 mm Hg at 25 °C(4). Various biological screening studies have demonstrated that 1-decanol biodegrades readily(5-7); therefore, biodegradation is expected to be an important process in soil(SRC).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a reported log Koc value of 2.59(2), indicates that 1-decanol is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon a Henry's Law constant of 4.78X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(4). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 27 hours and 12 days, respectively(SRC). 1-Decanol is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(3). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 20(SRC), from its log Kow of 4.57(6) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Various biological screening studies have demonstrated that 1-decanol biodegrades readily(8-10); therefore, biodegradation is expected to be an important process in water(SRC).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 1-decanol, which has a vapor pressure of 8.51X10-3 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 1-decanol is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 25 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.5X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). 1-Decanol does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of 1-decanol with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 1.5X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 25 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). 1-Decanol is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(2). 1-Decanol does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(2) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

An estimated BCF of 20 was calculated in fish for 1-decanol(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.57(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

389.05 L/kg|The log Koc of 1-decanol has been reported as 2.59(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this log Koc value suggests that 1-decanol is expected to have moderate mobility in soil.

The Henry's Law constant for 1-decanol is reported as 4.78X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 1-decanol is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(2). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 27 hours(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 12 days(SRC). 1-Decanol's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). 1-Decanol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 8.51X10-3 mm Hg(3).
